    I'm ugly, incredibly so TBH. I have too.
    Same!! *high fives*

    I wish I was a natural beauty type gal, but alas, not so. I have scarring on my chin, a spotty nose. My eyelashes are blond for some reason (I'm dark and hairy everywhere else, lol) and I feel like I need my eyeliner.

    Hmmm, I sound like some under-the-bridge-troll. Rar.







    (ps sunny, I am sure you are NOT ugly )

    I'm probably a sometimes to never person. Has to be a very special occasion for me to wear it and then it's only a bit of lipstick and eye shadow (ie special dinner with DH doesn't always count). I do get my eyelashes tinted regularly though but that's mainly so I have the mascara look without the effort.

    For my upcoming sister's wedding (as I did for my wedding), I'll have it done professionally.

    I would be interested in learning more about how to apply it. I suppose I'm not interested in wearing it more often because I don't know what I'm doing at the moment. I can't think of any women that I deal with at work (admittedly not a lot anyway) that wear it at all either.

    i'm a somtimes person. i actually feel quite good when i wear makeup so i wish i made the effort more often!

    i'm actually off to buy some foundation this morning - eek! the one i used to wear isn't sold in shops anymore & so i have to find a new one....wish me luck! (i'm the sort of person that the sales people in department stores don't even bother stopping when you walk through the makeup/perfume section - there is possibly no help for me )

    I am wearing it more these days. So I wear it to work. Depends on my mood if I wear it shopping etc, normally a minimal version if I do. Always if going out to dinner.

    Toying with getting something done to my eyelashes (I am not a fan of mascara as I am an eye rubber). Maybe just a tint, but thinking curling might be good. The beauty therapist I spoke to wants me to get extensions!

    Sometimes. If I'm feeling like I look particularly terrible, lol. I wear it maybe once a week in varying degrees. Maybe just some tinted moisturiser and lip gloss, sometimes powder, lippy, mascara, liner, eye shadow. If it's a special occaision, then I go full makeup. I tend to go through lazy phases though and won't wear any for a while. At home, I don't wear any.

    Prior to DD I wore it only if going out. I don't wear it at home but now I have to put something minimal on to go to the shops. I wear inika organic mineral powder, little blush and light mascara. I use a creme powder in a neutral colour for my eyes. But going out out I will put more effort in.

    I'm a sometimes gal. I put some on when I go out for dinner or whatever, not that it happens very often though. Lol

    very rarerly here
    i have invisible (but incredibly long) eyelashes, so every now and again, i'll get them tinted. usually cos i'm going somewhere and it's better to get them tinted then to try and put on mascara. between the fact i hate putting it on, i'm blind without my glasses on, and the mascara makes my eyelashes somewhat stiff and they rub my glasses - meh, it's just not worth it!

    i wear eyeliner a couple of times a week - again, because my eyelashes are invisible, so when i'm having a really tired day, it gives my eyes a teeny boost

    usually only wear clear lipgloss - and only if i have really dry lips, or we're going out. very rare.

    Red face

    at the moment Im a never ... but I need to be a always lol

    PZ I wish I had skin like you ......
    I used to wear it all the time as a teenager, then its like one day I forgot , and I have never remembered to "really" look in the mirror until the other day, and BAM !!!! I have freckles and sun damage and scars and wrinkles now too

    I am buying some new makeup on Monday , I have to take hubby so I actually buy it , I am the biggest procrastinator when it comes to myself.... Dh thinks I dont need it , but hes blind ( he forgets that I can actually look good lol )

    So I will be 27 and its been nearly ten years without makeup... except for my wedding day when I looked all shiny because I had no idea and used mums shimmer powder on my face..... in hot humid Bali lol ( Those who know me on fb can see my pics)

    (I really thought I had good skin, but it seems Im not one of those lucky ladies who have beautiful skin or colouring for that matter.....How I envy you all )

    Quite alot more..like Nai, I am pushing 40 so I like to make that extra effort

    I work two days, so always on those days. And other days, mostly tinted moisturiser (Rouge got me onto a beautiful product) and eyeliner.
    If I go out, I always have it on and sometimes on other days I wear it as it makes feel pretty.

    Pretty much never. I kind of forget it exists, oops! First time I ever wore eye-liner was when I was meeting DP (had a mutual friend and had been conversing on the phone/net for a couple of weeks before, was so nervous and thought I should step it up a bit haha) so went 22 years without... do quite like it though and wear it for big things like weddings with some powder now, shrug. Shops nah, friends nah, family do nah, dinner nah, movies nah... lazy

    I do like to paint my toenails if that counts!

    I never used to wear it. Then I started wearing it to work. Every day. Some days I think "WHY!?!? I could sleep for that 10 min!". But I'm told I look washed out when I don't wear it... by people who knew me before I started wearing it to work! Having said that, my make up regime consists of foundation, eyeshadow, mascara, and clear lip gloss. That's it. No concealer, no blush, nothing like that. If it takes more than 10 min (ideally 5 or less), it's not going to happen!!!

    ETA: I only wear it on weekends if going somewhere special.

    I'm a never. I can't remember the last time I wore make up to go out. I was talking to a colleague the other day and was stunned when she said she never wore makeup - I had never noticed. I think it's only obvious if you usually wear make up and then don't.

    I never do. I did try when I was younger but could never put it on properly so I gave up.
